12th RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA (2007)

The press screenings are from Feb. 8-21. The public ones are Feb. 28-March 11 at Lincoln Center and the IFC Center. This separation means the actors and directors coming for interviews and Q&A's will not be present for the earlier press screenings.

Information about the 2007 Film Society of Lincoln Center-Unifrance new French film series and some images will be found at the Rotten Tomatoes website and eventually also on the Film Society of Lincoln Center website. You will find info and summaries of critics' evaluations on the French website Allociné and often there are a couple of reviews of them in English from festivals on IMDb, especially by writers for Variety. My reviews will be at "Festival Coverage" also on the website Film Leaf.

The films are as follows:

La Vie en Rose /La Môme *(Olivier Dahan, 2007 – Opening Night
The Valet /La doublure (Francis Veber, 2006)* – Closing Night

Alphabetically by the English title the other films in the series are:

Ambitious/Les ambitieux (Catherine Corsini, 2006)
Blame it on Fidel/La faute à Fidel (Julie Gavras, 2006)
Countdown/Il sera une fois (Sandrine Veysset, 2007)
Don’t Worry, I'm Fine/Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas (Philippe Lioret, 2006)
Flanders/Flandres* (Bruno Dumont, 2006)
I Do!/Prete-moi ta main (Eric Lartigau, 2006)
Inside Paris/Dans Paris* (Christophe Honoré, 2006)
The Man of My Life/L'Homme de sa vie* (Zabou Breitman, 2006)
Murderers/Meutrières (Patrick Grandperret, 2006)
One to Another/Chacun sa nuit* (Pascal Arnold & Jean-Marc Barr, 2006)
The Page-Turner/La tourneuse de pages* (Denis Dercourt, 2006)
The Singer/Quand j'étais chanteur (Xavier Giannoli, 2006)
Tell No One/Ne le dis a personne (Guillaume Canet, 2006)
